Making some new cleaning cloths from extremely well-used cotton jersey scraps that have already been part of at least two garments. This is the fabric’s last stop — when these cloths wear out, they go in the bin.
Method: Make a 23cm by 23cm pattern piece. Overlay scraps on each other to form a rough square that covers the entire pattern piece, and glue-baste to each other (not to the pattern piece!). Secure the overlaps on each side with zigzag stitching, then spray with water and press (or just press with steam) to make flat again (the jersey will have stretched out of shape during the sewing). Cut three pattern pieces for each cloth, and sew together along all edges, leaving a gap to turn through. Turn through, close the gap with hand or machine stitching, then topstitch around all edges. Optionally, topstitch a pleasing pattern across the now-turned-out square.
